FAQs
What are the dimensions of the different sizes?
The product information lists three available sizes, but specific dimensions for each size are not provided here. Please refer to the retailer's product listing for exact measurements for Small, Medium, and Large options.
Is the rattan treated or sealed?
The description mentions a 'light wash finish,' suggesting a subtle treatment. However, it is not explicitly stated if it is sealed for complete water resistance. It is best treated as natural wood/wicker.
Can this basket be used outdoors?
While rattan is a natural material, this basket is primarily designed for indoor use by a fireplace. Prolonged outdoor exposure to weather elements is not recommended and may damage the material.
How much weight can the basket hold?
The basket is described as 'spacious' and 'generous,' with a 'heavy duty carrying handle,' suggesting it can hold a significant amount of logs. However, a specific weight limit is not provided. Distribute weight evenly and avoid overfilling to prevent strain on the handle and base.
Does it come in other colors?
The product description specifies a 'light wash finish.' No other color options are mentioned for this particular model.
Is it difficult to clean?
No, cleaning is straightforward. A simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the return policy?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please check with the specific store where you purchased the Dibor Fireplace Log Storage Basket for their return and exchange information.
Troubleshooting
Basket feels flimsy
Ensure the basket is on a flat surface. The natural material has inherent flexibility, but a stable base provides optimal support.
Slight odor upon arrival
This is normal for natural rattan products. Air out the basket in a well-ventilated area for a few days to dissipate any natural material scent.
Wicker strands are loose
For minor looseness, gently tuck the strand back into place. If a significant strand is broken, contact customer support for potential solutions.
